ABSTRACT:
A combination exo-endocervical sampler. The sampler includes an elongated handle portion having a free end and a non-linearly tapered row of flags disposed proximate the end opposite the free end. The flags are preferably configured to have a flat sampling surface and a convex opposed surface and are disposed at an acute angle with respect to the handle portion. A spatulate member is disposed on the handle portion proximate the row of flags at a point diametrically opposite thereto. A ledge extends along the handle member proximate its juncture with the spatulate member and serves to assist in the spreading of the separated exo- and endocervical samplers on to a two-tiered microscope slide. Optionally, a secondary row of flags is formed on an upper edge of the spatulate member to sweep the endocervix and transition zone when the device is rotated within the cervical canal.
